Anyone who loves horror but hasn't read anything by Richard Laymon should check him out. There's an amazing variety of horror among his works. One that sticks particularly in mind is SAVAGE, which follows Jack the Ripper to the American West. Although an American writer, his books were always more popular in the UK than here.

I'm more interested in the Lovecraft type of horror, rather than vampires, zombies or serial killers.
I've read Clark Ashton Smith, August Derleth, Algernon Blackwood (The Wendigo, wow!) and others, all good.

For Lovecraftian-type horror, try Brian Lumley. Also, Nightshade Books has published two Cthulhu Mythos anthologies in the past year, which are available as ebooks on the Baen website (and probably Amazon, too).

Anyone else have any recommendations?

That Which Should Not Be by Brett J. Talley. I thought so highly of the book that I own all 3 editions of it. If you like Lovecraftian horror, it's a must read (in my humble opinion). The atmosphere is awesome and the book genuinely scared me.

His second novel, The Void, is semi-Lovecraftian science fiction. It's not as good but there are some pretty creepy ideas in it.

Oh man, I really loved That Which Should Not Be - a great, fun read for the Lovecraft fans out there.

If Lovecraft is your thing, I also recommend Black Wings, an anthology of short fiction inspired by Lovecraft and edited by S. T. Joshi.

I also highly recommend Thomas Ligotti's works - Grimscribe, Noctuary and Teattro Grotesco are available in ebook format. I wish someone would publish an ebook of his first collection, Songs of a Dead Dreamer, or better yet, The Nightmare Factory, an omnibus collection of most of his short stories.
